Everything about this guy is a joke. Avoid him. It's terribly knowing guys like him, lauber, and Start all have tenure. To hell with their collective bargaining rights

Spends a lot of time giving history lessons about stuff about work being asked but doesn't give a lot of time for work in class but otherwise a great teacher.

Comment:

Had him for Graphics...this class moves SO slow. i didn't learned anything that i didnt already know from high school. if you know how to use a program comparable to photoshop you won't learn anything new. he talks almost the entire time about stuff you never get tested on, so you have to get most projects done OUTSIDE class. never used the book.

Comment:

took both 240 and 340. he is very eccentric, very frustrating but extremely knowledgeable. he's unavoidable if you want to do graphics, so just suck it up and take it like a man. as long as you're nice to him and show interest he's easy to get along with. fairly easy grader.

Comment:

he's okay...weird but okay. You will never use the textbook cause all you do is projects. the man speaks in his own language. likes to be in your face when conversating with you which can be kinda annoying sometimes

Comment:

This guy probably should have been a history teacher; he LOVES talking about history. Fortunately for me, so do I. The book was barely used, but you will learn SO much about computer graphics in this class. He gives you opportunities to work on projects during class hours. My classmates were often rude to him in class, but he's a super nice guy

Comment:

Sort of on the weird side (ever been looked at DIRECTLY at a completely random point in a lecture?), and talks quite a lot on and off subject, but a nice guy. This class was easy as long as you followed the procedures *exactly.* I think we looked at the textbook maybe once.

Comment:

Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his field. Tends to over emphasis on what he is trying to get across. But is sincere when trying to help. Must be interested in taking his classes or you'll probably have a hard time. Without any interest, you'll never want to follow him. I've seen it happen so many times!

Comment:

Dr. Kornfeld is crazy, there is no doubt about it. Simply out of his mind. He is also a very good teacher and an Expert in his area. His class is very easy as long as you try and put some honest work into it. There is alot to learn from him if you're willing to really listen to him and think about what he says.

This man really cares about his students. yes he is a little boring and repetitious but that is easy to work through.He may look weird but he is a really nice guy.he knows so much that he has trouble getting his point across at times but he will always do his best to clarify.

I took him for basic and advanced communications graphics. I learned Fireworks, Photoshop, Quark, and Illustrator in 2 semisters. Kornfeld is a nice guy who's always willing to help, but does not understand that a simple Yes or No answer is enough....

Comment:

I call him Dr Hide behind his back cause he reminds me of a mad scientist that knows too much for his own good. Talks alot and sometimes is a little dry, knows way to much and is really smart. Class is easy, lots of learning, but a lil boring, i recomend

He is extremely intelligent and nice but I couldn't grasp his class AT ALL. And he wasn't great at getting his point across!
